GUEST BIO
Chris Grenzig is an asset manager of Toro Real Estate Partners. Before he was involved in real estate, he took a job as a soccer coach after he earned his bachelor degree in business management. When he realized that he missed New York, he went back and after realizing that coaching was not the best fit for him anymore so he went on and took another job as a cold caller in a stock brokerage company. He quickly realized that being in the stock brokerage game didn’t bring much fulfillment. He also quickly realized that the products he was selling - he wouldn't sell to a family member. Unlike the investments that he does in multifamily today.
Join us today as he shares value with the community and describes his transition dating back to trying to flip homes back home to coaching soccer, to working on wall street to finally making it to fulfilling the position as the asset manager that he is today.

NOTABLE QUOTES (KEY LESSONS):
“If you’re somebody that’s doing it at least moderately well, it's better than not knowing what we’re doing at all.”
“Make the mistake, learn why it’s a mistake, and then do your best not to replicate them again.”
“ What we are really dealing with is basic Math, adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying, but it's about getting the right information and plugging the information into areas that make sense.”
“Real Estate in general is a long game, it’s a game that also takes money”
